The Children by Lucy Kirkwood,
directed by Catherine Hannon.
After a major disaster at a nuclear power plant, Hazel and Robin, nuclear engineers, have retreated to their remote coastal cottage, seeking to re-establish some kind of normal life. Out of the blue, Rose, a fellow scientist whom they haven’t seen for years, turns up. Has she come to rekindle old relationships or is she hiding some darker motive?
“Sly, gripping, darkly funny…This is sci-fi kitted out with real people, real dilemmas, real scope.” –The Times
“Grips compulsively…Genuinely disturbing…Leaves you an abundance of ideas on which to ruminate.” –Guardian
Nominated for a Tony Award for Best Play, winner of U.K. Writer’s Guild Award for Best New Play. In 2019, writers for The Guardian placed The Children third on a list of the greatest theatrical works since 2000.
Cast:
